Lipid droplet accumulation drives glutamine-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation
2026-01-14
Abstract excerpt
The NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Although metabolic cues can shape NLRP3 inflammasome activation, the role of lipid metabolism in this response is poorly understood. Lipids are essential for energy and redox homeostasis, membrane biogenesis, and diverse cellular processes. However, excessive accumulation of lipids such as free fatty acids can be...
